Year 7 pupils were given the rather formidable challenge of producing a play in just 2 days… And not just any play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’. 

With guest director, Ian Murchie, pupils were taken on a roller-coaster ride of consolidating their knowledge of the text studied in English lessons, learning lines, developing character and projecting their voices. 

They worked brilliantly as an ensemble to create a lively, emotive and engaging piece of tragic theatre which blended contemporary music, modernised lines and original Shakespearean text to great effect. Well done, Year 7!
